RESPONSIBLE CITIZENSHIP Mayville promotes an ethos of pupils contributing to the wider community, for the benefit of others. Through collecting donations or fundraising for charities, we have supported a number of causes throughout the year. Pupils are also encouraged to use their voice to shape the world of the future. Donations for St Simon’s, collected at Harvest Festival Senior pupils chose to support Portsmouth Reverse Advent Calendar this year, collecting donations of toiletries, confectionery and biscuits. These were distributed within the community, in the hope of giving local people a better Christmas. Alongside our existing partnerships in the local community with St Simon’s Church and Reverse Advent, Mayville also pledged support to Portsmouth Foodbank with weekly collections of essential items. In response to the invasion of Ukraine and seeing the plight of those families who subsequently were forced to leave their homes, we organised a collection of essential items to be taken to the Poland - Ukraine border. We were overwhelmed by the show of support and generosity from our school community, who collected an incredible amount of donations, which were sorted and packaged by pupils, staff and friends of Mayville. Ukraine donations were accompanied by messages of support Throughout 21-22, Senior School pupils have been actively involved with the Council of Portsmouth Students (CoPS), attending regular seminars and summits alongside other local schools. They have used their voice to shape the future in a number of key areas, including climate change, diversity & inclusion, careers and mental health & wellbeing. As a result of her involvement with CoPS, Evelyn (Year 8/L4) was appointed to the Artswork Youth Board, to ‘help mould arts and culture provision and embed strong, powerful and enthusiastic youth voice into Artswork’s strategy’ and to make ‘arts and creativity available to all’. Under the guidance of Mrs Matthias-Rosser, a group of Senior pupils started publishing The Mayville Post, a pupil newspaper which is written, edited and designed during a lunchtime club.

GCSE RESULTS Our class of ‘22 were the first pupils to sit external examinations in three years. Having faced disruption to their studies during the pandemic, their excellent results were borne out of resilience and a determination to succeed. These values will serve them well, as they embark on the next stage of their education, as confident young adults. 2022 saw our departing Year 11 (U5) pupils achieve an 88% overall pass rate (90% in core subjects), with 82% of pupils achieving four or more GCSEs at grade 4 or above, including English and Mathematics. We saw our highest ever recorded value added percentage, with 87% of pupils exceeding their potential (as measured against expected grades). This translates to ten higher grades per pupil, on average. In Vocational Creative Arts courses, our pupils achieved a 100% pass rate, 93% of which were at distinction level. As an inclusive school, we strive to ensure that no child is left behind and that all pupils achieve their own personal best. In 2022, 86% of pupils with special educational needs exceeded their potential. Measured against expectedperformance, pupils with SEN each gained five higher grades, on average.
